The vehicle is less than 5 years old and I was told the steering column needs to be replaced. It clicks when ever the steering wheel is turned. I was told it is fine to drive it until I get it repaired but after reading what could happen that doesn't seem true. I have had the back passenger door latch replaced because it wouldn't open from the inside or outside. Now to open my from passenger door you have to pull the door handle 3 times to get it to open. My drivers side door won't open from the outside. And the drivers side window will go up and down when trying to put just up or down.
I reported to my local Hyundai dealer (flemington NJ) of clicking sound coming from the steering column. The dealer says the steering joint shaft is loose and cannot be adjusted. Part number is 56400-d3000. Looking online, I see this is a common issue with other owners. This needs the attention of Hyundai; if the shaft fails, driver may loose total control of vehicle. This service is not covered under warranty after 50,000 miles. Thanks. Mike.
